I had a very comfortable three night stay at the beach studio in Hertbertville. The studio is furnished to a high standard with a microwave/cooker and washing/drying facilities. Wi-fi internet is also available. It is only a short distance from the beach and is also close to the local Inn and golf course. I would recommend the Stylish Beach Studio to anyone wishing to visit Herbertville for a break and excellent accommodation.

Great bach with an uncluttered look. It has everything you need but hidden away. Nifty features like a staircase to access a mezzanine and wooden shutters which give you a sea view when opened. Wonderful stay!

A great getaway

A luxurious stay in a lovely location. We had to change our booking a couple of times because of Covid, and the owner was very understanding and helpful. Enjoyed our walks along the coastline and watching the new lambs with their mums on the golf course in front of the Bach. A great weekend to just chill out 😀
